What the Gavel flight numbers suggest
Speed 3 is a putter rating. A disc this slow flies a short, controllable line and rewards a smooth release more than arm strength.
Turn -2 and fade 0.5 describe an understable flight: it moves right early in the flight before the finish, the shape slower arms and hyzer flips rely on. The -2 turn means it is rated to turn noticeably at full speed, which suits slower arms, hyzer flips and rollers, and the fade of 0.5 means a light finish as it slows down. Those directions are for a right-handed backhand; a forehand or a left-handed backhand mirrors them.
Glide 5 is on the high side for a putt and approach disc in our database. A high glide rating usually means the disc stays up longer for the same throw, which adds distance but can carry past a tight landing zone. The rim is 1.4 cm wide (about 0.55 in), wider than most putt and approach discs in our database.
Try Discs, our catalog provider, lists the Gavel as discontinued, so you may only find it used or in old stock. The ratings still help you understand a copy you already own and find a current disc that flies the same way.
